What is this class design of Dancer?

Wow, lots of toxic "I like it, so who cares about you!" comments. Sad.

I do wonder, will the RNG base of the class hurt it in the long run or cause it to be excluded in favor of non-rng classes? It might be fun, but will dependability be a concern?

I don’t see the RNG being an issue. BRD was heavily RNG in terms of procs, yet it was meta for the entirety of Stormblood. The deciding factor for DNC will be personal damage based on the potencies of their overall kit plus how much contribution they give to the raid with their utility. However, I feel confident that it will probably be meta because it can buff a single player for the entire duration of an encounter and buff the party every 2 minutes. The only way it couldn’t be is if its level 80 damage is subpar to the point that BRD/MCH do more than DNC’s personal DPS and raid contributions combined.

Dancer shares a good amount of damage % if you keep your dance up the whole time (and you should) so roughly 10% (?) total extra damage spread across 2 players at base, technical step, and devilments massive 20% crit/dh boost shared across 2 players. That's just baseline level 70, I only have dancer at level 71 almost 72.
